Getting IT Done

Competencies

AWS

Cloud architecture from single-account setups to multi-account landing zones. Security hardening, cost optimization, and Well-Architected reviews. Deep experience with IAM, Identity Center, and cross-account access patterns.

Systems

AI

AI-augmented engineering workflows that ship faster without cutting corners. LLM integration, agentic systems, and prompt engineering for real production use — not demos.

Process

Engineering process design that teams actually follow. Technical documentation, runbooks, and operational standards that reduce toil and prevent repeat incidents.

Operations
